In ''Super Mario 64'', two Moneybags appear in [[Snowman's Land]]. At first, they take the form of a regular, usually noticeably misplaced, [[coin]], but when [[Mario]] gets near one, it transforms into a purse-shaped creature that hops around. After four hops, it somehow flattens up and then walks on the ground for a few seconds. Defeating one earns the player five coins. Moneybags are also featured in the ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' remake and in the minigames [[Coincentration]] and [[Intense Coincentration]].

History

Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS

In Super Mario 64, two Money Bags appear in Snowman's Land. At first, they take the form of a regular, usually noticeably misplaced, coin, but when Mario gets near one, it transforms into a purse-shaped creature that hops around. After four hops, it flattens up and then walks on the ground for a few seconds. Defeating one earns the player five coins.

In Super Mario 64 DS, Money Bags return, having received a slight redesign, and one also appears in the minigames Coincentration and Intense Coincentration, where Wario punches one upward, causing several coins to fall.

New Super Mario Bros.

In New Super Mario Bros., Moneybags are found only in World 5-2 and World 6-3. Like in Super Mario 64, a Moneybags appears as an out-of-place coin at first, before showing its true appearance when Mario approaches. In order to defeat one, the player must hit it with six fireballs, stomp it three times, or use either a Mega Mushroom or a Koopa Shell. For the first two methods, it gives one coin for each hit, and a 1-Up Mushroom upon the last, at which point it is defeated. Moneybags usually appear in areas with several pits, making it harder to chase the creatures by these means. Additionally, a Moneybags returns in Coincentration, more graphically enhanced than before.
